This invention relates to windm-ss; it has for its object an improved window sash in which is contained a swinging hingzn-l frame, which holds the glass. The main sash is made to slide vertically in the ordinary why in the frame of the window, while the inner frame, which is preferably made naincipally of metal, is hinged to the main mine, and the loss can be swung with the metal frame in w rich it is contained, so that both sidesof it may be readily reached for cleaning purposes.

In the drawings :Figure I, is an elevation of a window frame containing a pair of sash.

2,is a vertical section of the upper half of A small portion of the ower sash the sash. is also shown. Fig. 3, is an enlarged section of the lower cross-bar and the parts immediatelyadjacent thereto. view of the hinge.

The sash consists of stiles l and rails 2 of ordinagy construction, except that instead of be' tted around the outside with a seat I for t e reception of a pane of glass, they are rabbeted on the inside with a rabbet 3 as a seat for a frame in which the extending at right angles to t e main body of the leaf, engages against the web 7 of the mei tallic frame piece, thus utilizing the extension 6 of the hinge as a tension member at the 5 upper corner of the sash, and the extension as a thrust member at the lower corner of the sash. The lower cross bar of the metallic frame in which the glass is seated is grooved with a groove 8 to receive the lower edge of the glass and projects beyond the uprights of Fig. 4, is an enlarged 1 glass is oon-. tained. The frame which contains the glass is made preferably with a metal rim 4 of Z- shaped metal, which extends as a rectangular frame entirely around the glass seated on the t the metallic frame with the projecting flange turned down to furnish a drip guard or rain guard 9, that swings closely over the upper ed e of the wooden rail 2" of the woo en sah. The glass seated in the groove 8 and against the shoulder or vertical side 5 of the groove is held in place by light strips of wood 10, which are se ured in place by tacks or small nails 12 driven into the wood through the web of the metal frame, and which effectually hold the wood in place without being perceptible to ordinary inspection. Xcverthcless the wooden stri are easily removed if it be desirable for any pu'r Jose to remove the glass from the frame. The metal franc: is secured in its closcdcondition with respect to the main sash by any suitable catch 13. The flange 7 of the lower bar engages a ainst the seat on the rail 2; the grooved wt b and drip flange 9 swings clear of the. top surface of the rail and extends beyond the rail, so that any water which runs down the glass is carried clear of the sash; the glass is set against a utty cushion which, however, does not 0 itself secure the glass in place, and is not exposed to the weather,
